# Saudi Arabic End-of-Utterance (EOU) Model

This model detects **End-of-Utterance (EOU)** events in **Saudi Arabic conversational text**.  
It outputs the probability that a speaker has **finished their turn**, enabling natural turn-taking in real-time voice agents (e.g., LiveKit).

---

## Task
Binary classification (probability output):

- **0** → Incomplete utterance (speaker likely to continue)
- **1** → Complete utterance (end of turn)

---

## Model Details
- **Base model:** `faisalq/SaudiBERT`
- **Architecture:** BERT Sequence Classification
- **Output:** Single probability (sigmoid)
- **Dialect focus:** Saudi Arabic (ar-SA)

---

## Training
- **Dataset:** Saudi Arabic conversational EOU dataset  
  https://huggingface.co/datasets/HussainKAUST/saudi-data-eou.jsonl
- **Data source:** Synthetic Saudi dialogue with natural pauses and incomplete turns
- **Loss:** Focal Loss (class imbalance handling)
- **Epochs:** 6
